attorneys for george zimmerman have posted a photo of zimmerman online. the attorneys say it was taken by police the night martin was killed. zimmerman, as you know, has been charged with a second-degree murder in that february death. martin was unarmed. zimmerman says he shot the teenager in self-defense. george howell has been covering the case for us. so why is this picture coming out now? >> well, carol, look, it's a new image but not really new wp we have seen this image before. it was released in the first round of discovery as a black and white i am imagine, so not nearly as impressive. i think we even have a side by side where you can look at the difference here. you see george zimmerman here black and white, but when you look at that high resolution digital image, you can tell this is -- it's a powerful image. you can tell exactly how badly he was injured. you can tell that there was a fight. now, the thing that we're looking at here, we know his attorney pushed for that image initially. he wanted to get this high resolution digital image. first

to what degree does this help george zimmerman's case? does it change the case? >> obviously we're not in the legal process, so we don't know all the details. but i don't think it really tells you that much. it doesn't tell you at what point any injuries were sustained and what was going on when they were. clearly there was an altercation, which we always knew that. >> i'm a nonpracticing lawyer. >> you always do the denials first. i just want to say, this is not my client. then you launch into -- but if you see a guy's bloody face -- >> it's absolutely right there's some altercation. we know that. the fact that he has a bloody lip doesn't justify killing somebody. >> this does prove there was an altercation t might shed light or give evidence to some story of who was the aggressor at the time the killing took place. >> i would think if you're the member of a jury, looking at a now clean cut and cleaned up george zimmerman and someone shows the picture -- i don't think the wounds are devastating but certainly has been struck in around the mouth and nose. >> we ca

this is a photograph of george zimmerman, and this is a photograph that his lawyers are now releasing, and it is the night he was arrested in the shooting death of trayvon martin. what is critical about this photograph is it's the first time we are seeing his face up close, and it seems to at this very early stage with just this angle of the photograph corroborate what he says may have happened in an altercation with trayvon martin. don't forget that george zimmerman is arguing that he shot in self-defense when he killed that unarmed black teenager. he says that trayvon martin had bashed him in the nose, breaking his nose, and then hit his head repeatedly against a sidewalk. here is the photograph that police took in their cruiser that night. what's incredible is that we have not had access to this photograph until now, and it has been many months since this happened. this came by way of something called discovery. the state finally released this photograph to george zimmerman's lawyers in the case against him, and they, in turn, have released it to the media. it certainly does bolste
